• For a single-forepump MS system, place the forepump under the workbench or within 2.4 m (8 ft) of the instrument. • Prevent the forepump from overheating by ensuring that there is sufficient air clearance around each forepump. Orbitrap Tribrid Series Getting Connected Guide Thermo Scientific...
To connect the forepumps to the exhaust system (Orbitrap Fusion Lumos MS) If you removed the workbench’s front panel (as shown), reattach it. Connect one end of the exhaust tubing to the forepump exhaust ports.
The locking levers have three positions. To fully unlock the roll and swivel movements, push the levers back to the third position (almost horizontal). 3. Reattach the front panel when you are ready. Orbitrap Tribrid Series Getting Connected Guide Thermo Scientific...

Contact Closure Signal The Orbitrap Tribrid Series MS can start data acquisition upon receiving a contact closure (start) signal from an external LC device, which is typically an autosampler. Thermo Scientific mass spectrometry applications can control external devices (for example, autosamplers, pumps, and detectors) from several manufacturers including Thermo Fisher Scientific, Agilent Technologies, and Waters Corporation.
